-
MCullers makes it through the first with only a walk.
-
Altuve steals 2nd, 1 pitch after painful looking HBP.
-
He's a hell of a lot rangier than I had surmised from what I'd read. I mean, he looks a lot more like Jordan Lyles than he does Billy Wagner. He throws more like Wagner, though.
-
I like the sac bunt moving Altuve to 3B, trying to get a quick lead for McCullers.

Ash doesn't.

I'm thinking the BBGs like the Astros.
-
Ash doesn't.
With all the sincere modesty I can muster...I'll put my strategic thinking cap up against his any day of the week.
-
Ash doesn't.
Ever notice how the shit he complains about ranges from what seems like common sense to the universe to just baffling over-attention to minutia?
-
McCullers really laboring here in the 2nd.

He's kind of been all of the place, too, which means he's not getting many of the borderline calls.

None. In fact, he's getting squeezed. But he's kinda all over the place.
-
Well that was better.
-
He probably thought the home plate ump would be better at the MLB level.
-
And a golden opportunity blown. Evan: with 1 out and the bases loaded, I might suggest NOT swinging at a pitch below the knees.
-
Rats, wasted opportunity there.
-

Gattis...not swing at a pitch? Really?
-
Carter with a blue star play, diving to his right to end the 4th!
-
Carter flashing the leather. I was certainly a doubter, but he's been good in the field.

He has. Little did we know, he was on the team for his defense.
-
So, I wonder what the story is with McCullers' Batman cleats?
-
Rookie deal. Springer had Superman.
-
Some good ABs by Tucker and Carter. Nice hustle by the rookie. Don't waste this opportunity.
-
Dang it. Thought that one was going to drop in.
-

Like rookie "hazing"?

Something like that.
-
5K's in 4.2. Not bad.
-
I guess they pulled him because of his pitch count.
-
Man, this is one slow game. How many full counts have there been?
-
Between the two teams, there have been 3 or 4 bases loaded situations. Lot of runners with low scores.
-
I'd bet $2 that was Villar's first 4-pitch walk in the majors.
-
Man, this is one slow game. How many full counts have there been?
No shit. For a game with a handful of hits and a pair of runs, it's been in slow motion.

Getting Pomeranz out should help. He was in no hurry to pitch the ball out there.
-
Is there a shortage of batting gloves in the clubhouse? Tucker, Rasmussen and Gattis are all barehanded.
-
THATCHER=TORTURE
-
Thatcher not being able to throw a fucking strike isn't speeding things up. Walks the bases loaded with no outs and leaves his mess to Will Harris.
-
Villar chipped in with an error.
-
Lawrie singles to make it 2-1. Bases still loaded, still nobody out b
-
That was nice hitting by Lawrie. Not a bad pitch at all.
-
Harris gets a comebacker to get a 1-2 out, bases still loaded, 1 out.
-
Oakland would have a hipster second baseman. He probably uses a vintage viola case for bat bag too.

Carter with some handy glove work here tonight.

Really nice play from Carter. Good pitching by Harris to get out of that with only 1 run
-
Carter with another nice play for the old 3-2 twin killing.
Nice job by Harris to keep that inning from getting away from them.
2-1 A's.
-
Give Carter a blue star for that.
-
McCullers did not have his best curveball tonight. I saw him pitch in Frisco and this was not it.
-
Mujica through six changeups in a row, and the Astros looked silly.
-
Jeez, Castro wasn't within a foot of any of those pitches.
-
What in the hell is the deal with Ashby and Certs? Is this some labored, private joke that I don't know about? Or is Alan Ashby literally the only person in North America who regularly thinks about and wishes to comment on Certs? I am being serious here.

He and Blummer got into a breath mint discussion the other day, and apparently he's still cracking himself up over it.

A 2-1 loss shouldn't take this long.

No but a 3-2 victory will take even longer.
-
It would be nice to see Buchanan get a win here.

hold your breath while i go brush my teeth.
-
Have a Certs instead.
-
Two infield hits? That's all we got...two infield hits?
-
Mildly rage inducing game. I don't like having Valbuena out of the lineup, fuck the lefty-lefty thing.

He's batting .108 vs. lefties this year. Last year, .217.

Villar chipped in with an error.
that was no error.

not what I meant. I meant the original scoring was crazy.
